The previous model was better looking, that one looks like the new E-Class - not distinctive at all. :thumbsdown:

Well, I had thought the old CLS looked like crap in pictures but was awe struck when I saw it in person. Guess I'll wait to see this one.

Werd. Too much going on with the sharp lines and all those LED's. Hope it hits the market soon though so the current gen drops in price and I can afford a 55

Guys, Guys, Guys! Are we even sure these pics are legit? I've seen some covered up spy shots of the new CLS and the greenhouse looked sleeker on them, than in these photos.

If, however, this is indeed how the new CLS will look - granted its not one of those "see it in person - fall in love, see on the pic - puke" designs - it will probably make the original CLS an instant classic. Get yours now

I thought the old one looked like crap in pix, and then when i saw it in real life, i again acknowledged that im never wrong! however, this one looks worse as if that was possible!

i don't think it's official picture. yet. it's probably a rendering speculation inspired by a new e-class design.

i don't like this front at all - old one is better. however, this one looks cool to me:

I think the angles that the 1st pics were taken could be better; it's throwing the lines of the car off.
